When we threw our Wild Foods Of Texas Pop Up restaurant party at Tamale House East, Jester King was our beer purveyor. It was a natural fit. After all, the boys down in Southwest Austin are known for being the wildest, most experimental brewery in the state of Texas. Our patrons went wild too. They drank deep off a keg of Das Wunderkind, the award winning Saison / Farmhouse Ale that beer cultists around the world covet and scheme to get their hands on.

Now the crew over at Rate Beer are estimating that Jester King is both the top brewer in Texas, and the brewer of the best beer in the state; the collaboration between Jester King and infamous Danish beer gypsy Mikkeller: Beer Geek Rodeo.

Dallas-based Peticolas gets the nod for being best new brewery.
